Assembly Language: Class Project 1

CS 301 Lecture, Dr. Lawlor

From the syllabus:

PROJ: Two sizable class projects--big programs written in, or relating to assembly, with a short in-class presentation.

Each project is 10% of your course grade, so it should have some pretty good stuff!
  Conversely, the total end-to-end time for the project is three weeks, so keep it manageable!  Here's the schedule:
    October 2010
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
1 2
3 4 5 6 7 8 9
10 11 12 13 14 15 16
17 18 19 20 21 22 23
24 25 26 27 28 29 30 <- Describe your topic in-class

November 2010
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
1 2 3 4 5 6 <- Rough draft code due
7 8 9 10 11 12 13 <- Final draft due, presentations
14 15 16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26 27 <- Thanksgiving
The project topic (see ideas below) should be easy to describe in one or two sentences.  You'll say those sentences in class, partly so that I hear them, and partly so that other people in class that are interested in the same thing have a chance to join your group.  Group work is optional, but not required for this project.

The rough draft code should work, but not necessarily do everything you want, or be polished or tuned.

The final code should be fully debugged, tuned, commented, and include a short README explaining what it is, and what its results mean.  You'll be graded on a combination of ambition, correctness, and comments/style.  You'll also give a *very* short (literally *two* minute) in-class presentation of your results on November 12.

Project Topic Ideas

Or, pick your own!  As long as it's assembly-related, it counts!  Your code can run totally inside NetRun, or be a standalone executable, but it should run somewhere.
